Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, being an interface between modern
biology and informatics encompass discovery, development and implementation
of computational algorithms and software tools with aim to increase understanding
of the biological processes. In the pharmaceutical sector, these disciplines are
used to reduce the time and costs of drug discovery process and to identify drug
targets.

We, at Laboratory for Bioinformatics and Computational Chemistry, Institute of Nuclear Sciences
VINCA, discover and implement algorithms to improve the understanding of
biological systems. We often apply our methods and other techniques to
specific biological systems usually through collaboration with experimentalists.
